the football gods have turned on us

can someone explain what the **** has happened to our team and players coz i cannot explain it...

long was being kept off for as much as possible so he fresh for midweek in case anyone hadn't worked that out

hang your head in shame

We are having real problems with being the team that dictates the play and style of the game. We played better football against the better teams because that is the way they wanted to play. Mane is very off form and I believe that Tadic is only half the player on the right. This double problem is what is really causing us the issues in the final third. Pelle needs more than one chance a game because he is good but not a top champ league forward. I think Long on right and Tadic left is the way to go in the beginning of games with mane the impact replacement with his speed later on. It seemed to work better like this for us earlier in the season, then we let Mane start in place of long which was okay at first but since Mane has lost form and confidence to run at players the whole confidence of our forward players has gradually dropped. Mane needs to sit for a while and earn that starting spot back.

Crab Lungs you been rumbled

Right I've just made the changes to my prem fantasy team and removed pelle and tadic. Sorry everyone I knew putting them in a couple of weeks ago was a bad move. Hope normal service is resumed asap.

Bit like tottenham game, not at the races and our final pass just not going. Maybe its the size of the pitch...

Complacency. Glad it happened with lots of time left.

If they are that thread bare then standby for another operation park the bus and smash and grab. Hope the boys are for this could be mentally fatiguing if we don't get one early.

interesting username and then a thread like this. Things must be getting even more desperate in Fratton. Your all welcome to come visit the itchen bridge if you feel really bad. After you jump you can see St Mary's on the way down too which is beautifully poetic.

It worries me more that this guy knows all of our key staff, most successful scouts etc. If spurs want to chuck obscene money at people and Mitchell tells them who to go after they can now pick us apart. Say 3 of our most distinguished youth scouts, 3 of our best pro scouts. Not to mention replicating our systems and setup. It wouldn't be an overnight thing for spurs but it could effect us and benefit them over the course of the next few years. On the others side of the coin hopefully our positive background will lure in even better individual scouts who up to now haven't been at a setup where they have more free reign like they will at saints.

Fantastic news! Given the choice I think it's the spurs one we should convert into a win those 3 Pts should come in very handy.

DLLL ...Sorry. Very much hope I'm wrong.

Robbing bastards at it again. We don't buy success we breed it.

So Daniel Levy probably thinks we've got some supercomputer in our 'Black Box' that does all the work of our scouting department. He will attempt to lure Mitchell in get him to divulge the details on how to build the same system for himself and then fire/eject Mitchell from White Hart lane whilst laughing maniacally like a bond villain. Only then will he realise he can't operate the system and that actually skilled staff, infrastructure and team spirit are what results in success from top to bottom of the company.

if anyone fancies a project Id love to see all of the Neil ashton saints article headlines in one list since last January and Corteses sacking. Bet it would tell a story.

haha destabilising attempts seem right oh and surprise surprise who the writer is... Tottenham to take southamptons head of recruitment Paul Mitchell http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2830170/Tottenham-want-land-Southampton-s-head-recruitment-Paul-Mitchell-Daniel-Levy-plans-major-changes.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Don't shoot the messenger. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-worried-over-ronald-koeman-4607593? On one hand the pessimist in me says that as January rolls round we should expect our bi-annual fix of behind the scenes drama. Game of Saints. The optimist in me says that Koeman is man of his word and seeing what state we were in as a result of Poch's ditching us, he wouldn't want to do the same especially with his brother here etc.

Snap this was about what I was thinking. Also possibly one of the man utd sides. Treble winning team or Van Nistelrooy/Solskjaer/Beckham/Giggs/ was pretty terrifying not to mention the rest of the team.

******** to it, I say bring the big man home on loan. He will dominate the Fa cup for us minimum and he rightfully deserves to be with us as we are on the cusp of achieving the impossible. He knows how to play with the majority of our boys and would be excellent squad depth and experience. Great option for resting pelle too. Anyone got the number for his people?

Wow please tell me you are not repeating something you've heard from a TV pundit and this is just your opinion.
